GOD’S OWN COUNTRY: EDITION 2: BACKWATERS.

Hello lovely people! In this particular post; I am going to share my experience at the backwaters and waterbodies in KERELA. Cruising through the backwaters of Kerala ( ALLEPEY) we slowly meandered through the lush rivers surrounded by calm, tranquil slow paced village life. The backwaters were nothing short of incredible. Another highlight and memorable experience. Gliding slowly through the waterways we were very content and relaxed as we witnessed this tranquil place. We passed many local houses, fish farms, men, women and children walking the riverbanks. It was so peaceful. We had the opportunity to witness the larger waterways on our houseboat we stayed on for a couple of days and the narrower waterways when we later hired out a small boat for the day on a separate occasion. These waterways were beautiful. There were so many different shades of green. From the bright green rice terraces to the darker green palm tree leaves, the light green mango trees, the electric green fauna and the murky deep dark green of the backwaters. I think it covered the whole spectrum of green. Due to the mere width of the narrower waterways we were able to get up close and personal with life here. Watching life pass by us by, gazing on as people carried on with their daily tasks paying very little if any attention to us tourists in the boat. All in all; the KERELA backwaters was an extremely serene experience. Stay tuned for most updates coming up soon!
